Good afternoon,
This is for Texas dealers that are making the transition from ALECS to NMLS.
I could not find my EIN letter from IRS so I called and requested the 147 C Letter. Below are the steps I took all the questions you need the answers to to get the letter. I hope this helps.
These are the accepted for to verify the EIN.
554 Letter
147 C Letter
Form 6166
I called the 800-829-4933 number Option 1 is for EIN then Option 3 is to speak to someone to get the letter.
If you select a different option and wait the hour plus time you will be told you have to make the selection for EIN numbers. ( I know because I did this).
Also, I called 14 times and was told they were to busy at this time to take my call on the 15th time I finally was able to get in line to speak to a representative. I waited right at an hour.
When you call you need more information than just your EIN number. Below is the information they requested from me.
Roll with company example – Owner, Partner, President, Vice President, etc.
The address of the company – the associated with IRS.
Entity Type – LLC, S Corp., sole proprietor, etc.
What forms do you file for you company taxes – 1120 this is the only one I know so may need to do a little research if you want more examples.
Last Month Fiscal Year – Ours is December 2024 because we have not filed our 2025 tax return yet.
EIN established - Month and Year.
Single or Multi member company.
Last for if the SS # of a person that is on the tax return.
Last thing you can have them fax the forms to you and you get ASAP or mail them, and it takes 10 to 14 days.
They accept calls from 7am to 7pm.
